Hello! Something a bit different today. We've had so much feedback about the story of the stolen penguin on a school trip, we thought we'd dedicated (at least) an episode to it. Our research has taken us to England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Australia, The United Arab Emirates and even South Korea. We speak to genuine callers and get their first hand accounts of the penguin story. We speak to someone accused of stealing te penguin to see of there is any weight to the accusations. This was a really fun, yet exhausting episode to put together. Hope you like it.

And, of course, if you have any further news or your own version of the story...

Hello! Great episode today. We chat to Ian Sanders, creator of The Real Brits in Dubai Facebook page. With almost 12,000 members in just four years, we delved into the highs and lows, the pitfalls and perils, the laughs and the tears of running an expat Facebook page which, we're sure you're all aware, can be absolute minefields of trolling, arguing and pig-headedness. However, there are also as many positives as there are negatives and they can be a real community-spirited place and a lifeline to those who need friends. Ian tells all! But before we got him online (Zoom novices), we talked about...

• The hairdresser upsell.

• Trying to administer tablets to a cat.

• The UAE's mask news.

• A great TV recommendation.

Hope you enjoy this episode. We are going to try to do a few more interview episodes with people we find interesting over the coming months. Any suggestions or anything you'd like to talk about, ask, or get us to answer, email us at [email protected]
